Accompanied by the talking motorcycle Hermes, a young adventurer known as Kino travels the world, visiting faraway lands and diverse cultures. With only 3 days to spend in each new location, these travelers come and go as they please, learning what they can regarding the truths of the world and the people who live in it. A wielder of blades, firepower, and a piercing tongue, Kino is ready to embark on a journey that is equal parts beautiful, cruel, and dangerous.
